Case 3: 40-year-old female presented with low back pain and bilateral leg pain which was more prominent on the right side. The symptoms had started 11 months prior. MRI shows L4–5 posterior central and left paracentral disk herniation with the apex deviated to the left. Neither of the nerve roots are directly compressed. It may be assumed that an increased traction force is applied on the right L5 root than on the left L5 root
